Requirements evolve over time Changes will occur frequently (and always at inconvenient times Time lines are short Incremental delivery allows you to manage this change!

CMPS 435 Fall 08 These slides are designed to accompany Web Engineering: A Practitioner’s Approach (The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.) by Roger Pressman and David Lowe, copyright 2009 4 Conducting Framework Activities-I The first iteration define business context establish overall requirements create a set of usage scenarios negotiate conflicting needs among stakeholders, and from this information derive the set of WebApp increments that is to be delivered. Develop a broad outline of all components, recognizing that it will change

You meet with stakeholders and later review your notes: Logo and graphics—need aesthetic design. One- or two-paragraph introduction. CPI mission statement (file exists) A word to visitors (someone will write this tomorrow) Basic navigation bar will look like … About the company Our offerings Home security products (hierarchical at next level) Monitoring services (a list) Our Technology (the new sensor) Contact us Other issues: Informational content will change over time. This “home page” will be the navigation starting point for content and functions required for subsequent increments.

CMPS 435 Fall 08 These slides are designed to accompany Web Engineering: A Practitioner’s Approach (The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.) by Roger Pressman and David Lowe, copyright 2009 6 Conducting Framework Activities-III The second iteration You spend a few minutes developing a plan Day 1:Create a prototype layout (a model) of the WebApp. Collect and review all existing CPI content and graphics. Get stakeholder feedback on prototype, if possible. Day 2:Using the prototype as a guide, begin construction of the increment. Build navigation bar. Lay out content areas. Integrate graphics, links, etc. Test all links for validity. Review all content for completeness and correctness. Day 3:FTP all files to (an existing) domain. Perform navigation tests. Deployment: Inform selected stakeholders that the increment is available. Day 4:Poll stakeholders for feedback. Make modifications based on stakeholder feedback.

The tasks you select to populate each framework activity for the increment may differ from the tasks performed for the preceding increment, but the overall process flow remains the same

Many umbrella activities can be defined But only four are crucial for a successful Web engineering project:

Manages the effects of change as each increment is engineered, integrating tools that assist in the management of all WebApp content Quality assurance. Defines and conducts those tasks that help ensure that each work product and the deployed increment exhibits quality Risk management. Considers project and technical risks as an increment is engineered Project management. Tracks and monitors progress as an increment is engineered
